Central Banks Are Hungry For Gold

From The Maven Letter: 26 October 2023

I quickly wanted to highlight the latest numbers from the World Gold Council on central bank gold purchases. The below is from the Financial Times.

Putting it in chart form…

And remember that 2023 isn’t over yet – this year’s bar only shows Q1-Q3. It certainly looks like central banks are on pace to buy as much gold as last year’s record level, if not more.

There have been lots of reports over the last few months about significant retail gold buying in China as well. It makes sense: a weak renminbi, a lacklustre domestic stock market, and a troubled real estate sector have pushed Chinese to buy as a store of wealth.

Rising desire to buy gold is keeping the price near $2000 per oz. It isn’t helping gold equities – central banks don’t buy gold stocks! – but if the pressure continues, at some point the price will reach a point where investors can’t but move into gold stocks.

I have completed your book Paydirt and IT IS BRILLIANT! Honestly, the best book I have read on investing in the miners.

– Daniel V

The guidance from the newsletters is truly priceless. I began my journey with the Gold Advisor two years ago and I can tell you that the realized gains this year have been very substantial and I believe the best is yet to come when the market gains recognition from the retail investors. If it were not for the bundled subscription I would not know where to begin this investing journey. I also found reading Jeff’s book “Paydirt” to be very helpful in gaining a understanding of the mining and metals industry.
